Rattenbury family - James Rattenbury was born in 1870 and began
fishing by gathering oysters in Little Swanport. This gave him enough money
to move to Hobart to work and study. The study led to a career in the merchant
marine that in turn allowed him to buy his first fishing boat in 1898. Based
in Dunalley. In 1922 he took his son Harold to sea for the first time. Crayfishing
was their principle interest and in 1988 Harold told me the story
of their career that spanned just under 100 years.
